4 Preface The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), through its Evidence-Based Practice Centers (EPCs), sponsors the development of evidence reports and technology assessments to assist public- and private-sector organizations in their efforts to improve the quality of health care in the United States. The report topic was nominated by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) and the Laureate Psychiatric Clinic and Hospital. Funding for this report was provided by the Office of Research on Women s Health at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Health Resources and Services Administration. The reports and assessments provide organizations with comprehensive, science-based information on common, costly medical conditions and new health care technologies. The EPCs systematically review the relevant scientific literature on topics assigned to them by AHRQ and conduct additional analyses when appropriate prior to developing their reports and assessments. To bring the broadest range of experts into the development of evidence reports and health technology assessments, AHRQ encourages the EPCs to form partnerships and enter into collaborations with other medical and research organizations. The EPCs work with these partner organizations to ensure that the evidence reports and technology assessments they produce will become building blocks for health care quality improvement projects throughout the Nation. The reports undergo peer review prior to their release. AHRQ expects that the EPC evidence reports and technology assessments will inform individual health plans, providers, and purchasers as well as the health care system as a whole by providing important information to help improve health care quality. We welcome comments on this evidence report.

5 Structured Abstract Objectives. The RTI International University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Evidence-based Practice Center (RTI-UNC EPC) systematically reviewed evidence on efficacy of treatment for anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), and binge eating disorder (BED), harms associated with treatments, factors associated with the treatment efficacy and with outcomes of these conditions, and whether treatment and outcomes for these conditions differ by sociodemographic characteristics. Data Sources. We searched MEDLINE, the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Applied Health (CINAHL), PSYCHINFO, the Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC), the National Agricultural Library (AGRICOLA), and Cochrane Collaboration libraries. Review Methods. We reviewed each study against a priori inclusion/exclusion criteria. For included articles, a primary reviewer abstracted data directly into evidence tables; a second senior reviewer confirmed accuracy. We included studies published from 1980 to September, 2005, in all languages. Studies had to involve populations diagnosed primarily with AN, BN, or BED and report on eating, psychiatric or psychological, or biomarker outcomes. Results. We report on 30 treatment studies for AN, 47 for BN, 25 for BED, and 34 outcome studies for AN, 13 for BN, 7 addressing both AN and BN, and 3 for BED. The AN literature on medications was sparse and inconclusive. Some forms of family therapy are efficacious in treating adolescents. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) may reduce relapse risk for adults after weight restoration. For BN, fluoxetine (60 mg/day) reduces core bulimic symptoms (binge eating and purging) and associated psychological features in the short term. Individual or group CBT decreases core behavioral symptoms and psychological features in both the short and long term. How best to treat individuals who do not respond to CBT or fluoxetine remains unknown. In BED, individual or group CBT reduces binge eating and improves abstinence rates for up to 4 months after treatment; however, CBT is not associated with weight loss. Medications may play a role in treating BED patients. Further research addressing how best to achieve both abstinence from binge eating and weight loss in overweight patients is needed. Higher levels of depression and compulsivity were associated with poorer outcomes in AN; higher mortality was associated with concurrent alcohol and substance use disorders. Only depression was consistently associated with poorer outcomes in BN; BN was not associated with an increased risk of death. Because of sparse data, we could reach no conclusions concerning BED outcomes. No or only weak evidence addresses treatment or outcomes difference for these disorders. Conclusions. The literature regarding treatment efficacy and outcomes for AN, BN, and BED is of highly variable quality. In future studies, researchers must attend to issues of statistical power, research design, standardized outcome measures, and sophistication and appropriateness of statistical methodology. v

11 Executive Summary Introduction The RTI International University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Evidence-based Practice Center (RTI-UNC EPC) conducted a systematic review of the literature on key questions concerning anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), and eating disorders not otherwise specified (EDNOS) (focusing on binge eating disorder [BED]) to address questions posed by the American Psychiatric Association and Laureate Psychiatric Hospital through the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). Funding was provided by AHRQ, the Office of Research on Women s Health at the National Institutes of Health, and the Health Resources and Services Administration. We received guidance and input from a Technical Expert Panel (TEP). We systematically reviewed the evidence on two categories of issues treatment and outcomes for AN, BN, and BED in six key questions (KQs): (1) efficacy of treatment, (2) harms associated with treatment, (3) factors associated with the efficacy of treatment, (4) whether efficacy of treatment differs by sex, gender, age, race, ethnicity, or cultural group, (5) factors associated with outcomes, and (6) whether outcomes differ by sex, gender, age, race, ethnicity, or cultural group. AN is marked by low body weight, fear of weight gain, disturbance in the way in which one s body size is perceived, denial of illness, or undue influence of weight on self-evaluation. Although amenorrhea is a diagnostic criterion, it is of questionable relevance. BN is characterized by recurrent episodes of binge eating in combination with some form of compensatory behavior. Binge eating is the consumption of an uncharacteristically large amount of food by social comparison coupled with a feeling of being out of control. Compensatory behaviors include self-induced vomiting; misuse of laxatives, diuretics, or other agents; fasting; and excessive exercise. BED is marked by binge eating in the absence of compensatory behaviors, a series of associated features of binge eating, and marked distress regarding binge eating. Overweight and obesity are commonly seen in individuals with BED. Although rigorous epidemiologic data are lacking in the United States, the mean prevalence of AN is 0.3 percent, of subthreshold AN 0.37 percent to 1.3 percent, of BN 1.0 percent, and of BED 0.7 percent to 3.0 percent. Mortality from AN is about 5 percent per decade of followup. Treatment for severe AN can involve inpatient or partial hospitalization in costly specialized settings. Inadequate insurance coverage often truncates the recommended duration of treatment. Treatment costs for AN are higher than those for obsessive-compulsive disorder and comparable to those for schizophrenia. In contrast, treatment for BN in the United States is typically on an outpatient basis. Methods We searched MEDLINE, the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Applied Health (CINAHL), PSYCHINFO, the Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC), the National Agricultural Library (AGRICOLA), and Cochrane Collaboration libraries. Based on key questions and discussion with our TEP, we generated a list of article inclusion and exclusion criteria. We reviewed studies of humans, ages 10 years and older, of both sexes, published in all languages and from all nations, from 1980 to September Studies had to include populations diagnosed primarily with AN, BN, or BED and to report on at least one of our outcomes 1
12 categories of interest: eating-related behaviors, psychiatric and psychological outcomes, and biomarker measures. We reviewed each abstract and article systematically against a priori criteria to determine whether to include it in the review. One reviewer initially evaluated abstracts for inclusion or exclusion. If that reviewer concluded that the article should be included in the review, it was retained. Articles that the reviewer determined did not meet our criteria were re-reviewed by a senior reviewer who could include the article if she disagreed with the initial determination. We assigned each excluded article a reason for exclusion. The RTI-UNC EPC team abstracted data from included articles directly into evidence tables. For both the treatment and the outcomes literatures, a primary reviewer abstracted data directly into evidence tables; a second (senior) reviewer confirmed accuracy, completeness, and consistency. The two staff reconciled all disagreements about information in evidence tables. Each abstractor independently evaluated study quality. Because of differences in the treatment and outcomes literature, we evaluated the two bodies of literature using separate criteria. For the treatment literature, our evaluation used 25 items in 11 categories: (1) research aim/study question, (2) study population, (3) randomization, (4) blinding, (5) interventions, (6) outcomes, (7) statistical analysis, (8) results, (9) discussion, (10) external validity, and (11) funding/sponsorship. For the outcomes literature, we evaluated the evidence against 17 items in 8 categories: (1) research aim/study question, (2) study population, (3) eating disorder diagnosis method, (4) study design, (5) statistical analysis, (6) results/outcome measurement, (7) external validity, and (8) discussion. We focused our analysis on studies that received fair or good quality ratings. This included 19 studies discussed in 22 articles concerning treatment for AN: 38 studies discussed in 48 articles concerning treatment for BN: 20 studies discussed in 21 articles concerning treatment for BED: 26 studies discussed in 32 articles concerning outcomes for AN: 9 studies discussed in 13 articles concerning outcomes for BN: 7 studies discussed in 7 articles concerning outcomes for both AN and BN: and 3 studies discussed in 3 articles concerning outcomes for BED. Treatment Studies Results Anorexia Nervosa. We divided the treatment literature into medication-only (generally in the context of clinical management or hospitalization), medication plus behavioral intervention, and behavioral intervention only for either adults or adolescents. The literature regarding medication treatments for AN is sparse and inconclusive. The vast majority of studies had small sample sizes and rarely had adequate statistical power to allow for definitive conclusions. Although studies did include medication administered during or after inpatient intervention, no AN studies that systematically combined medication with behavioral interventions met our inclusion criteria, revealing a substantial gap in the literature. In the behavioral intervention literature, preliminary evidence suggests that cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) may reduce relapse risk for adults with AN after weight restoration. Sufficient evidence does not exist to determine whether CBT has any effect during the acute phase of the illness, and one study, also requiring replication, showed that a manual-based treatment combining elements of sound clinical management and supportive psychotherapy by a specialist was more effective than CBT during the acute phase. Family therapy as currently conceptualized does not appear to be effective with adults with AN with longer duration of illness. Specific forms of family therapy initially focusing on parental control of renutrition is 2
13 efficacious in treating AN in adolescents and leads to clinically meaningful weight gain and psychological change. The lack of follow-up data compromises our ability to determine the extent to which treatment gains are maintained. Bulimia Nervosa. In medication trials, fluoxetine (60 mg/day) administered for 6 weeks to 18 weeks reduced the core bulimia symptoms of binge eating and purging and associated psychological features in the short term. The 60 mg dose performs better than lower doses and is associated with prevention of relapse at 1 year. Evidence for the long-term effectiveness of relatively brief medication treatment does not exist. The optimal duration of treatment and the optimal strategy for maintenance of treatment gains are unknown. Studies that combine drugs and behavioral interventions provide only preliminary evidence regarding the optimal combination of medication and psychotherapy or self-help. How best to treat individuals who do not respond to CBT or fluoxetine remains a major shortcoming of the literature. For behavioral interventions for BN, CBT administered individually or in group format is effective in reducing the core behavioral symptoms of binge eating and purging and psychological features in both the short and long term. Further evidence is required to establish the role for self-help in reducing bulimic behaviors. Binge Eating Disorder. For BED, we addressed two critical outcomes decrease in binge eating and decrease in weight in overweight individuals. Various medications were studied, including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs); a combined serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine uptake inhibitor; tricyclic antidepressants; an anticonvulsant; and one appetite suppressant. In short-term trials, SSRIs led to greater rates of reduction in target eating, psychiatric and weight symptoms, and severity of illness than placebo controls. However, in the absence of clear endpoint data, and in the absence of data regarding abstinence from binge eating, we cannot judge the magnitude of the clinical impact of these interventions. Moreover, in the absence of follow-up data after drug discontinuation, we do not know whether observed changes in binge eating, depression, and weight persist. The combination of CBT plus medication may improve both binge eating and weight loss, although sufficient trials have not been done to determine definitively which medications are best at producing and maintaining weight loss. Moreover, the optimal duration of medication treatment for sustained weight loss has not yet been addressed empirically. Collectively, clinical trials incorporating CBT for BED indicated that CBT decreases either the number of binge days or the actual number of reported binge episodes. CBT leads to greater rates of abstinence than does a waiting list control approach when administered either individually or in group format, and this abstinence persists for up to 4 months posttreatment. CBT also improves the psychological aspects of BED, such as ratings of restraint, hunger, and disinhibition. Results are mixed as to whether CBT improves self-rated depression in this population. Finally, CBT does not appear to produce decreases in weight. Various forms of self-help were efficacious in decreasing binge days, binge eating episodes, and psychological features associated with BED. Self-help also led to greater abstinence from binge eating than waiting list; short-term abstinence rates approximate those seen in face-to-face psychotherapy trials. Strength of Evidence in Treatment Literature. We graded the strength of the body of evidence for each question separately. For efficacy of treatment (KQ 1), we graded evidence for AN treatment as weak, that for BN medication and behavioral interventions as strong, and that for BED therapies as moderate. For harms associated with treatment (KQ 2), we graded medication interventions for BN and BED as consistently strong; the literatures for all AN 3
14 interventions and all other BN and BED interventions were graded as weak to nonexistent because many studies failed to address harms associated with treatment. For factors associated with efficacy of treatment (KQ 3), with the exception of behavioral interventions for BN, which we graded as moderate, we graded the literature uniformly as weak. No published literature provided evidence on whether the efficacy of treatment for these conditions differs by sociodemographic factors (KQ 4). Overall, the literature on the treatment of AN in particular was deficient. Outcomes Literature Outcomes of Eating Disorders. One prospective cohort study, conducted in Sweden, followed individuals with AN in the community. Over a 10-year period, approximately half of the group had fully recovered; a small percentage continued to suffer from AN, and the remainder still had other eating disorders. Members of the AN group no longer differed from those in the comparison group in terms of weight, but they continued to be more depressed and to suffer from a variety of personality disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, Asperger syndrome, and autism spectrum disorders. The remaining AN studies followed patient populations. Typically, at least one-half of the patients no longer suffered from AN at followup. However, many continued to have other eating disorders such as BN or EDNOS, and mortality was significantly higher than would be expected in the population matched by sex and age. Factors associated with recovery or good outcomes included lower levels of depression and compulsivity. Factors associated with increased mortality included concurrent alcohol and substance use disorders. All of the BN outcomes studies followed patient populations. This literature emphasizes comparisons of various definitions of disease outcomes and diagnostic subtypes. Generally, more than one-half of the patients followed no longer had a BN diagnosis at the end of the study. A substantial percentage continued to suffer from other eating disorders, but BN was not associated with an increased mortality risk. A limited number of analyses uncovered factors significantly associated with outcomes of this disease, but only depression was consistently associated with worse outcomes. Only sparse evidence addresses factors associated with BED outcomes. The three included studies have vastly different designs and research questions; more importantly, they do not converge on any systematic findings. Recalling that no studies of EDNOS outcomes exist, we conclude that the literature regarding outcomes of both EDNOS in general and BED in particular is seriously lacking; we believe that no conclusions can be drawn about factors influencing outcomes of these disorders. Age of AN disease onset was examined in several AN outcomes studies. However, the relation between this variable and outcomes was mixed. No additional differences by participant sex, gender, age, race, ethnicity, or cultural group emerged from the AN, BN, or BED outcomes literature. Strength of Evidence in Outcomes Literature. The strength of the evidence addressing factors associated with outcomes among individuals with AN and BN is moderate. In contrast, given the limited information about factors related to outcomes among individuals with BED (KQ 5), we rated BED evidence as weak. We used the body of literature concerning KQ 5 to examine differences in outcomes by sociodemographic factors (KQ 6). We graded the AN literature as weak and the BN and BED literature as nonexistent. 4
15 Discussion In conclusion, the literature regarding treatment efficacy and outcome for AN, BN, and BED is of highly variable quality. In the treatment literature, the largest deficiency rests with treatment efficacy for AN where the literature was weakest. Future studies require large numbers of participants, multiple sites, appropriate biomarker outcomes, and clear delineation of the age of participants. For BN, future studies should address novel treatments for the disorder, optimal duration of intervention, and optimal approaches for those who do not respond to medication or CBT. For BED, future studies should identify interventions that are effective for both elimination of binge eating and reduction of weight (in overweight individuals), optimal duration of intervention, and effective strategies for prevention of relapse. For all three disorders, exploration of additional treatment approaches is warranted. In addition, for all three disorders, greater attention must be paid to factors influencing outcomes, harms associated with treatment, and differential efficacy by sex, gender, age, race, ethnicity, or cultural group. For all three disorders, consensus definitions of remission, recovery, and relapse are essential. Greater attention to disease presentations currently grouped under the heading of EDNOS is required for both treatment and outcome literature. For outcome studies, especially for BN and BED, population-based cohort studies with comparison groups and adequate durations of followup are required. For both future treatment and outcome studies, researchers must carefully attend to issues of statistical power, research design including the use of similar outcome measures across studies, and sophistication and appropriateness of statistical analyses. 5
16 Evidence Report
17 Chapter 1. Introduction Scope of the Problem The eating disorders discussed in this report include anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), and eating disorders not otherwise specified (EDNOS). Although rigorous epidemiologic data specific only to the United States are lacking, the mean prevalence of AN in young females in Western Europe and the United States is 0.3 percent and the mean prevalence of BN is 1.0 percent. Clinically concerning subthreshold conditions are more prevalent. 1 These eating disorders are associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. 2,3 The financial and social impact of these potentially fatal disorders on disability, productivity, and quality of life remains unknown. Clinical Characteristics Anorexia Nervosa AN is a serious psychiatric illness marked by an inability to maintain a normal healthy body weight, often dropping well below 85 percent of ideal body weight. Patients who are still growing fail to make expected increases in weight (and often height) and bone density. Despite increasing weight loss, individuals with AN continue to obsess about weight, remain dissatisfied with the perceived size of their bodies, and engage in an array of unhealthy behaviors to perpetuate weight loss (e.g., purging, dieting, excessive exercise, fasting). Individuals with AN place central importance on their shape and weight as a marker of self-worth and self-esteem. Although amenorrhea is a diagnostic criterion, it is of questionable relevance. There do not appear to be meaningful differences between individuals with AN who do and do not menstruate. 4,5 Typical personality features of individuals with AN include perfectionism, obsessionality, anxiety, harm avoidance, and low self-esteem. 6 The most common comorbid psychiatric conditions include major depression 7,8 and anxiety disorders. 9,10 Anxiety disorders often predate the onset of the eating disorder, 9,10 and depression often persists post-recovery. 11 Diagnostic Criteria Table 1 presents the diagnostic criteria that authors of articles reviewed in this report use. They include Russell criteria, 12 Feighner criteria, 13 Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders III, III-R and IV (DSM III, III-R, and IV), and the International Classification of Diseases-Versions 9 and 10 (ICD-9 and ICD-10). 17 Epidemiology The mean prevalence of AN in young females in Western Europe and the United States is 0.3 percent. 1 The prevalence of subthreshold AN, defined as one criterion short of threshold, is greater ranging from 0.37 percent to 1.3 percent. 18,19 Although awareness of the disorder has increased, the data on changing incidence are conflicting. Some studies suggest that the incidence is increasing, and others report stable 9

There is weight loss or, in children, a lack of weight gain, leading to a body weight at least 15% below the normal or expected weight for age and height B. The weight loss is self-induced by avoidance of fattening foods C. There is self-perception of being too fat, with an intrusive dread of fatness, which leads to a self-imposed low weight threshold D. A widespread endocrine disorder involving the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis is manifested in women as amenorrhoea and in men as a loss of sexual interest and potency. (An apparent exception is the persistence of vaginal bleeds in anorexic women who are on replacement hormonal therapy, most commonly taken as a contraceptive pill) E. The disorder does not meet criteria A or B for bulimia nervosa Disorder that fulfills some of the features of anorexia nervosa but in which the overall clinical picture does not justify that diagnosis. For instance, one of the key symptoms, such as amenorrhoea or marked dread of being fat, may be absent in the presence of marked weight loss or weight-reducing behavior. This diagnosis should not be made in the presence of known physical disorders associated with weight loss rates Epidemiological studies indicate that the peak age of onset is between 15 and 19 years. 32 Anecdotal reports suggest increasing presentations in prepubertal children 33 and new onset cases in mid- and late-life. 34,35 The gender ratio for AN is approximately 9:1, women to men. 16 Etiology The etiology of AN remains incompletely understood. Although numerous psychological, social, and biological factors have been implicated as potentially causal, few specific risk factors have been consistently replicated in studies of the etiology of the disorder. 36,37 Although not disorder-specific, common risk factors across eating disorders include sex, race or ethnicity, childhood eating and gastrointestinal problems, elevated shape and weight concerns, negative self-evaluation, sexual abuse and other adverse events, and general psychiatric comorbidity. 36 In addition, prematurity, smallness for gestational age, and cephalohematoma have been identified as risk factors for AN. 38 The preponderance of reports from western cultures fueled early conceptualizations of AN as a culturally determined disorder, but the past decade of biological and genetic research has revealed that AN is familial 39 and that the observed familial aggregation is attributable primarily to genetic factors Moreover, molecular genetic studies have identified areas of the human 11
20 genome that may harbor susceptibility loci for AN 43,44 and specific genes that may influence risk. 45,46 In addition, an array of pharmacologic, genetic, and neuroimaging studies have identified fundamental disturbances in serotonergic function in individuals with AN even after recovery. 47 Although serotonin has received considerable research attention, given the interrelatedness of neurotransmitter function, other neurotransmitter systems, most notably dopamine, are also implicated in these disorders. 48 The ultimate understanding of AN etiology will likely include main effects of both biological and environmental factors as well as their interactions and correlations. Course of Illness AN has serious medical and psychological consequences that can persist even after recovery. Features associated with the eating disorder including depression, anxiety, social withdrawal, heightened self-consciousness, fatigue, and multiple medical complications. 7,49-51 The social toll of AN interferes with normal adolescent development. 52 Across psychiatric disorders, the highest risks of premature death, from both natural and unnatural causes, are from substance abuse and eating disorders. 53 A history of AN is associated with greater problems with reproduction, 54 osteoporosis, continued low body mass index (BMI, a commonly used measure of normal weight, overweight, or obesity calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared [kg/m 2 ]), and major depression. 11 Chapter 6 reviews eating-related, psychological, and biomarker-measured outcomes of AN in detail. Treatment Given the high morbidity and mortality associated with AN, developing effective treatments for AN is critical. Because of the frequent medical complications and nutritional compromise, clinical practice typically includes a comprehensive medical evaluation and nutritional counseling. Typically, less medically compromised cases of AN are treated on an outpatient basis by psychiatrists, psychologists, and other therapists with primary care providers managing medical care. Professional organizations have developed several English-language treatment guidelines or position papers for the treatment of AN; these include the American Psychiatric Association, 58 the National Institute for Clinical Excellence, 59 the Society for Adolescent Medicine, 60 the American Academy of Pediatrics, 61 and the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists. 62 Psychotherapeutic approaches include individual psychotherapy (cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, behavioral, and psychodynamic), family therapy (especially for younger patients), and group therapy. The American Psychiatric Association Working Group on Eating Disorders concluded that hospitalization is appropriate for individuals below 75 percent of ideal body weight. 58 Weight is not the only parameter to be considered in level of care decisions. Other considerations include medical complications, suicide attempt or plan, failure of outpatient or partial hospitalization treatment, psychiatric comorbidity, role impairment, poor psychosocial support, compromised pregnancy, and lack of availability of less intensive treatment options. 58 Such treatment commonly involves highly specialized multidisciplinary teams including psychologists, psychiatrists, internists or pediatricians, nutritionists, social workers, and nurse specialists. 12
21 Striegel-Moore et al. reported the average length of stay to be 26 days using an insurance database of approximately 4 million individuals in the United States; 63 this is substantially shorter than the lengths of stay in other countries, including New Zealand (72 days) 64 and Europe, which ranges from 40.6 days (Finland) to days (Switzerland). 65 They found that, per patient, AN treatment costs in the United States were higher than those for obsessivecompulsive disorder and comparable to those for schizophrenia, both of which have prevalences similar to those of AN. 63 A workshop sponsored by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) examined problems in conducting research on AN treatment. 66 It highlighted obstacles such as relatively low incidence and prevalence, lack of consensus on best treatments, variable presentation within the patient population based on age and illness factors, high costs of providing treatment, and the complex interaction of medical and psychiatric problems associated with the illness. This report also highlighted the importance of improving and expanding the workforce in the eating disorders research field. Clinical Characteristics Bulimia Nervosa BN is characterized by recurrent episodes of binge eating in combination with some form of inappropriate compensatory behavior. Binge eating is the consumption of an abnormally large amount of food coupled with a feeling of being out of control. Compensatory behaviors (aimed at preventing weight gain) include self-induced vomiting; the misuse of laxatives, diuretics, or other agents; fasting; and excessive exercise. The onset of BN usually occurs in adolescence or early adulthood and is most frequently seen in women who are of normal body weight. 16 Although the gender ratio is approximately 9:1, women to men, the diagnostic criteria themselves are gender-biased. In contrast to women, men tend to present with a greater reliance on nonpurging forms of compensatory behavior such as excessive exercise. 67,68 Considerations of differences in the clinical presentation of BN in men may lead to revised estimates. 67,69 Approximately 80 percent of patients with BN are diagnosed with another psychiatric disorder at some time in their life. 70 Commonly comorbid psychiatric conditions include anxiety disorders, major depression, dysthymia, substance use, and personality disorders. 9,71-77 Personality features of individuals with BN include some features shared with AN such as high harm avoidance, perfectionism, and low self-esteem. Features more specific to BN include higher novelty seeking, higher impulsivity, lower self-directedness, and lower cooperativeness Diagnostic Criteria Table 2 presents DSM III, III-R, and IV and ICD-10 diagnostic criteria for BN. According to DSM IV criteria, a diagnosis of BN requires a minimum of 3 months of binge eating and compensatory behavior occurring twice a week or more. Similar to AN, individuals have to report the undue influence of weight and shape on their self-esteem. In addition, BN is diagnosed 13

Diagnostic criteria: bulimia nervosa Diagnostic Criteria DSM III Criteria for Bulimia Nervosa (307.51) DSM III-R Criteria for Bulimia Nervosa (307.51) DSM IV Criteria for Bulimia Nervosa (307.51) A. Recurrent episodes of binge eating (rapid consumption of a large amount of food in a discrete period of time, usually less than two hours) B. At least three of the following: (1) consumption of high-caloric, easily ingested food during a binge (2) inconspicuous eating during a binge (3) termination of such eating episodes by abdominal pain, sleep, social interruption, or self-induced vomiting (4) repeated attempts to lose weight by severely restrictive diets, self-induced vomiting, or use of cathartics or diuretics (5) frequent weight fluctuations greater than 10 pounds due to alternating binges and fasts C.

The bulimic episodes are not due to anorexia nervosa or any known physical disorder A. Recurrent episodes of binge eating (rapid consumption of a large amount of food in a discrete period of time) B. A feeling of lack of control over eating behavior during the eating binges C. The person regularly engages in either self-induced vomiting, use of laxatives or diuretics, strict dieting or fasting, or vigorous exercise in order to prevent weight gain D. A minimum average of two binge eating episodes a week for at least 3 months E. Persistent overconcern with body shape and weight A. Recurrent episodes of binge eating. An episode of binge eating is characterized by both of the following: (1) Eating, in a discrete period of time (e.g., within any 2-hour period), an amount of food that is definitely larger than most people would eat during a similar period of time and under similar circumstances (2) A sense of lack of control over eating during the episode (e.g., a feeling that one cannot stop eating or control what or how much one is eating) B. Recurrent inappropriate compensatory behavior in order to prevent weight gain, such as self-induced vomiting; misuse of laxatives, diuretics, enemas, or other medications; fasting or excessive exercise C. The binge eating and inappropriate compensatory behaviors both occur, on average, at least twice a week for 3 months D. Self-evaluation is unduly influenced by body shape and weight E. The disturbance does not occur exclusively during episodes of anorexia nervosa Specify type: Purging type: During the current episode of bulimia nervosa, the person has regularly engaged in self-induced vomiting or the misuse of laxatives, diuretics, or enemas Nonpurging type: During the current episode of bulimia nervosa, the person has used inappropriate compensatory behaviors, such as fasting or excessive exercise, but has not regularly engaged in self-induced vomiting or the misuse of laxatives, diuretics, or enemas DSM, Diagnostic and Statistical Manual; ICD, International Classification of Diseases.
